LAST HOURS.

Special 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March As usual OF
the last night of a session Of Congress,
the capital is filed with people in all con-
ditions of life. The millionaire ilsJles
the arm Of the pauper in the crowd, and
pushes his way through the surging mass,
all bent on seeing the last hour Of dying
Congress. The galleries, corridors, halls
and stairs are packed, and the curious
crowd still linger, in hopes of getting the
coveted seats OF those who went early.
On the floor the scene j. exciting. The
members are crowding the space in front
of the Speakers desk, making a final ap-
peal for recognition TO pass their local
bills, but they receive no recognition.
Some Of the importunate get upon the
steps leading up to the desk, and at one
time score or more were shaking bills
almost in his face. The cries for the
Speakers attention, the wild scramble 10
catch his eye, aud above all the loud rap
ping of the gavel, made the scene one
long to be remembered. 1t was simply q
paudemoQium. TIE most ridiculous part
Of it was when standing vote was taken
and members stopped do n to prevent
Being counted. They took position an
lHAglIlOIS, SOlIlc DSuL ON LEtlE knees
While others in turn laid on them. The
lean ones went nlmbiy down or one knee,
or sQuattcd down fiat. To some of the
s5Outer statesmen, however, the effort
was one Of pain, ard their movements
evoked much laughter from the galleries.
Finally member vas found who had no
aX - grind, and he made motion that
the coDgTega!iag about the Speakers

House. Speaker C9rslisle ssid the point
CT order was well taken, aud asked
the members 10 resume tnar saa!s, which
they reluctantly die. Wien quiet vas
scmeW hat restored &c said that never in
his experience haG the House heen so
disorderIy and trusted that such T. scene
wouid not be repeated. The plies CT
paper and the large number Of boxes Of
white pine with the members names and
their home addressed on them, sre char
aCteris.iC CT the going cat of Congress.
These boxes almost block the corridors
End the elevator, aud they look not un-
like the cuflia boxes piled up one above
another in an undertakey's shop. Mem
bsrs are packing up their books and pa
peers and those who will not return are
preparing to bid last farewell. Those
boxes carry away many disappointed
hopes to their last resting place-many
pet schemes are thus given decent Con-
gressional buryinE. IN these official
boxes many will carry home ali the fame
two years Of Congress has brought them.
